Book Review: Calvin Coconut: Zoo Breath by Graham Salisbury

Review: Calvin Coconut: Zoo Breath is the fourth book in the Calvin Coconut series. Author Graham Salisbury writes about a boy named Calvin who lives in Hawaii with his mom, younger sister Darcy and sixteen year old sister Stella.

Calvin has recently gotten a new dog named Streak that has terrible breath. Now Calvin is afraid that his mom will make him give her away. What happens in this book is Calvin and his friend Julio have to do a science project for school, so they decide to study stinks! They study the stinks of dog breath, a toilet hole, dead frogs, and many more. However, there are some spies in the story that try to make fun of Calvin and Julio's science fair project. Will they cure Streak's bad breath or will Calvin have to return her to the humane society? As you read you might find some surprises along the way.

I think that this is a great book for kids ages 8 through 10. I would definitely recommend this book to other students. They would have a good time reading this hilarious book, especially if you like stinks! You might find some surprises along the way. Make sure to pick up Calvin Coconut: Zoo Breath at your library today! You would never believe how fun it is to read a book so stinky!
